To the editor: The Women’s College Scholarship Club is always appreciative of the support we get from our local businesses. We recently had an event called “Heartfelt Hunt.” Eleven businesses agreed to display big pink hearts, each with a letter on it, in their windows.

Once you have discovered the word, go to the Saranac Lake Neighbor Helping Neighbor Facebook page or the Village Mercantile to fill out an entry form and put it in the heart-covered box at the Mercanti
1920s 1920s – Main Street shows an intricate, elaborate electric system with poles on both sides of the street, installed by Paul Smith’s Electric Light Power and Railroad Company Incorporated. Notice the small street lights attached to the power poles. The big Christmas tree appears to have had more boughs or smaller trees around the base. Even with a magnifying glass no lights were visible on the tree. The flag showing high behind the tree was on the movie theater which is the present site of the Downhill Grill Restaurant. Those early cars had soft tops, with Eisinglass side curtains, which rolled up and held with a leather strap. Eisinglass or Isinglass was much like the clear plastic of today.
